Google is pushing for the replacement of Windows' traditional search method with a more advanced one.
The tech world has been abuzz with the recent announcement from Microsoft and Google. The two tech giants have collaborated to create an experimental Google search application for Windows PCs, aiming to improve the unpopular search function in Windows.
Ars Technica has provided positive initial feedback for the new search tool, stating that it is a significant improvement over the Windows Search. Initial tests in the US have shown that the Google Search for Windows is faster and better at automatically completing search queries.
One of the standout features of the new search bar is its integration with Google Lens, allowing users to copy or translate text from images. Additionally, the app can be summoned with a keyboard shortcut (default: Alt + Spacebar) in any Windows window, making it omnipresent.
The new search tool also offers filtering options similar to the web search, such as videos, images, or shopping sites. However, it's worth noting that video and shopping site filtering is not currently available in the Windows version.
Another notable feature is the ability to enable dark mode and perform optical character recognition (OCR) on the current screen. While the OCR function is a potential practicality, its search functionality's performance remains unverified.
Currently, the Google Search for Windows can only be obtained via Google Labs, and it is not available in Germany. The exact release date for the app in Germany is unknown. For Windows users looking to perform OCR on their screens, the current method involves using the Snipping Tool.
It's important to note that there are no specific videos related to the Google Search for Windows available on our website or ct. The c't 3003 video is not related to the Google Search for Windows.
The Google Search for Windows is designed to replace the unpopular Windows search, offering a more efficient and user-friendly search experience. With its integration of Google Lens and its potential for improved search functionality, the new app is poised to make a significant impact on the Windows PC user experience.
